Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Virginia Beach, VA

I received my bachelor's from James Madison University and a Master of Arts from Lesley University in Expressive Therapy.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 6 years of experience, I specialize in providing compassionate, holistic care to individuals recovering from trauma and living with PTSD as well as those struggling with anxiety and depression. My approach integrates mind, body, and spirit, acknowledging that healing happens on multiple levels.

My passion lies in supporting children, teens, and young adults navigate through daily life stressors via a collaborative and supportive therapeutic environment. I have an extensive background in working with individuals who feel overwhelmed or defined by their life stories, those navigating trauma, and individuals experiencing relationship issues, mood disorders, anxiety, and/or depression. When I am not counseling or doing assessments, you can catch me reading, journaling, listening to music, swimming, traveling/ visiting sanctuaries/endangered animals, and/or spending time with family and friends.

Life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, or the transitions that come with different stages of life. You don't have to navigate these experiences alone. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change from an eclectic evidenced based approach that promotes hope, stability, and wellness, including faith-based perspective.
